    * Not a joke- mysayso.com

    Just discovered this site while surfing Paypal: http://www.mysayso.com

    FYI: according to Paypal, the owner of this web design business has had 200 paying customers to date! Don't know if they're all design-related, but stranger things have happened... Check out the "designs" that he's done; you'll laugh till you lose bladder control.

    *gets motion sickness from all the movements on the page*

    I wouldn't let them *pay me* to design a site for me. My younger sister could probably do something better in Frontpage and MS Paint

    She's very competitive, only $149.95 per page

    She'll even throw in the use of the blink tag as an added bonus free of charge to make your site even more alive!

    Not to mention a free midi background sound of your choice. After all, that's the trend these days.

    ...but hey, she's obviously making a living from it so it might not be as bad as you think...

    Some of ya are probably just "pissed" that someone actually paid her (not you!) for those "designs"! lol

    BWA-HAHAHAHA! Love that Wagsites link. ROFLMAO!!!! I especially love the disclaimer at the bottom warning visitors that their site is best viewd at such and such resolution. Hello-- this site is best viewed never!

    Yeah, that Hawaii Five Oh had me laughing, too. (I mean, UGH!!! WTF?? And lurv the marquee too, like everyone else here, lol.) But the one that really got me was http://www.oemsolutionsinc.com. I'm still crying over that one. Wait for the navigation to load on that so that you can check the rest of the pages!

    Also check out http://www.liftandlube.com. This one shamelessly *borrows* the splash image and internal images from http://www.rotarylift.com. Aw, man-- when does the hurting stop??

    Hrmm.. I've heard of "borrowing" a site design, but taking the whole logo - that is just going one step two far.

    I wonder if our good friends at ThyssenKrupp (who own Dover Elevator which in turns owns Rotary Lift) know about it.

    Hey, let's spare ThyssenKrupp's feelings and go by the "Ignorance is Bliss" philosophy. They'd cry if they saw what was being done in their good name!

    But then again, if this guy is making good money off them, I say let 'em know, but, um.. *cough cough* discreetly...

    You'll be surprised how much small local businesses are willing to pay just for a simple made-with-FrontPage web site.

    I don't think it would surprise me to be honest. I've seen a lot of horrible sites by business presumably making their first steps into an Internet presence.

    They don't have much experience, so X Frontpage Designer tells them that it would cost millions to have a decent looking site so they settle for a half-baked Frontpage piece of rubbish.

    Personally - I'd rather have a decent looking site or nothing at all. Admittedly I'm not the best at web design out there (but I'm certainly far from the worst) - but then again I don't do websites for other people

    It's funny - you tell people you do work with computers - the first thing they ask is "web design?".

    You're killing me with laughter... that http://www.mcg2000.com/websites.html is a classic.

    I wasn't sure whether it was an advertisement for Tonka trucks or something else

    The scrolling marquee and the "Welcome to Adobe Golive 5" really add the finishing touches - or the icing to the cake so to speak

    I think I'd better go hire them immediately for my upcoming website project
